Mars opposition 22nd May

[johnh]

SPX350 F41.3, PGRFlea3, BaaderRGB filters.

Another clear night with decent seeing, trouble was patchy cloud kept disrupting seeing before it flooded in ending things.  I got a few steady images and some GIF animations.  The first time this season I have seen Sinus Sabaeus, with Syrtis Major just moving off the disc.

Thanks, John.

Really superb, both the stills and the animation. Aperture, altitude, and imaging aptitude all came together in an excellent result

I'm still waiting for my telescope mount. Will retrograde buy us any time for Mars viewing this opposition?
